It used to be so gratifying
to hear that ding
I always had the volume up
so I wouldn’t miss a thing
“Ding! You’ve got mail!”
I felt so important
that someone sent me an email
I’d rush to my computer
like it was the Holy Grail
“Ding! You’ve got mail!”
After school it was
the first thing I’d go see
The sound of the modem connecting
was happy music to me
(Notification sound)
Now there’s only a sound
and it happens every minute
I’ve learned to wait a while
and choose to ignore it
(Notification sound)
I’m not that important
just a bunch of junk mail
I miss the days when people
used to use Postal Mail
